“The supernatural is less frightening once you learn how often it has bad bookkeeping.”
— D'arcy Riggs

Background

D’arcy Juliet Riggs is a New York–based internet personality and independent media commentator who operates a popular video channel devoted to superheroes, vigilantes, conspiracies, and superhuman activity throughout the world. Fast-talking, relentlessly curious, and permanently online, D’arcy built her reputation by staying ahead of mainstream media coverage and cultivating sources inside the superhero community.

Her reporting initially drew the ire of Manhunter, who took exception to several of her stories concerning the activities of Night Shift. What began as mutual irritation gradually evolved into a strange but effective working relationship, as D’arcy repeatedly proved herself useful to the team.

Over time, she became a trusted ally and occasional informant for Night Shift, feeding the group rumors, sightings, leaked information, and the sort of street-level chatter that rarely appears in official intelligence files.

Skills And Personality

D’arcy possesses exceptional online research and media skills, with an instinctive understanding of internet culture, digital investigation, and information gathering. She is adept at tracking stories through obscure forums, social media networks, leaked footage, and anonymous tip lines.

Although not a trained investigator in the traditional sense, her persistence and willingness to chase bizarre leads have made her surprisingly effective at uncovering hidden truths.

Outside her journalism work, D’arcy is also a talented amateur singer.

Notes

D’arcy represents the Modern Age reality of superheroes existing under constant public scrutiny, where bloggers, livestreamers, and independent media figures can become almost as influential as traditional reporters.
